Strain monitoring is very important in the manufacturing, assembling, installation and servicing processes in both mechanical and civil engineering fields. Two-dimensional digital image correlation is a simple, efficient strain monitoring method, but one major bottleneck is the unacceptable error due to the unavoidable out-of-plane motions of the object in practice. We propose a “self-correction” method: employing the originally extracted strain values in different directions to correct the errors due to out-of-plane motions. It is applicable to many engineering applications with known relationship of strains in different directions. A uniaxial tension test was conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and practicality of this self-correction method. Compared with other correction methods, this method is not only simpler but also more efficient in correcting errors due to the lens distortion caused by self-heating. Both the experiment and theoretical analyses demonstrate that this self-correction method maintains the high accuracy of the digital image correlation method.

Dic Technique

DIC (Digital Image Correlation) based methodology gives full field measure of the displacement using a well defined algorithm for matching the images of loaded and load free component, so that displacement in a plane can be evaluated for a certain number of grid reference points on the analysed surface. In this work, the authors present an application of DIC technique to analyse fatigue damage phenomena in two notched GFRC laminates under tensile load. Damage analysis based on optical DIC technique has been performed to detect the damaged areas on the specimen surface. The damage evolution and failure mechanism has been followed monitoring two parameters: the local hysteresis area of stress-strain cycles, the local stiffness variation.

In this paper the results of an experimental investigation on the effect of subcritical damage on the residual strength properties of notched composite laminates are presented. A procedure based on the digital image correlation method was applied to laminates subjected to static and fatigue tensile loading. The digital image correlation method (DICM) is a whole-field technique that calculates surface displacements and strains from digital images characterized by a random distribution of intensity grey levels. Graphite/PEEK (polyether ether ketone) and graphite/epoxy laminates with different stacking sequences were analysed and the damage progression near the stress riser was evaluated by means of the strain maps obtained by digital image correlation. It was found that damage developing before final fracture may significantly affect the structural performance of composite laminates. The digital image correlation technique allowed clarification of the beneficial or detrimental role played by the different failure mechanisms on the strain redistribution around the hole and, as a consequence, on the residual strength and fatigue life of notched samples. The findings of the investigation suggest that the DICM is an efficient and reliable tool for full-field monitoring and detailed damage characterization of structural composite elements.
